#EmmettTill was brutalized, dehumanized, and murdered 67 years ago today. This heinously racist lynching was in response to a lie. But even if it had been true, Emmett should still be here. There’s no justification. The work for justice continues. Emmett would be 81.

So Luke Skywalker force projected across the galaxy to distract a Sith blinded by anger that he didn’t even realize he wasn’t a fighting a physical person, allowing the next generation of heroes to escape and then he gloriously faded into the sunset AND YOU DIDN’T LIKE THAT?!

Bummed the show didn’t go as planned but it was absolutely surreal and overwhelming to be in a stadium of thousands of people wearing my artwork. Wild.

.Linda Blackford speaking truth, as she usually does. Every word in this article is 100% on point. Folks have pointed out this hypocrisy for years. This op-ed points out exactly why nothing's changed.

If Marty saw this, he would have been beaming. Joslyn & TSC are going to continue to make you proud. RIP to one of the realist and best human beings I've her known. Love, Power, and Peace to the late great Marty Charters!

The Nicholasville Police Department is unable to vilify #DesmanLaDuke so now the truth is laid bare here in Kentucky and for the nation to see. When police kill citizens it’s overwhelmingly arbitrary. Often times police kill in situations where they shouldn’t even be present.

Rest In Power #DesmanLaDuke
